Hi,just wanted to say hello to everyone out there.My name is Phil from Leyland,Lancashire.Me and one of my mates are just getting back into freestyle after a break of around 23years(age37now!) and its bloody harder than i remember,plenty of bruises and people asking me when am i going to grow up,lol. I've built a couple of old school rides to practice on,an aero reflex with skyways and a prolite.Also bought a new school GT performer just because of the giro system and a decent rear brake,mmm! Ive also built a couple of ramps,a fold up 7foot trick ramp which is the dogs bollocks and a 4foot high quarter pipe which is, granted only a baby,but its scaring the shit out of us just looking at it,arggghh! Im going to make another pipe so that i can bolt them together side by side and then hopefully it might be a bit more inviting eh!.
Its good to see a few of the well known riders on here from years ago like Billy Stupple,Mike Pardon,Andy Irwin etc. I've just blown the dust off my old Kelloggs BMX video and put the freestyle bits onto dvd, just so i could refresh myself with all the old school cheesy tricks(they still look good today too!)
Anyway i hope to speak or meet up with some of you old timers in the future(preferably before i break my bones!).
P.s. Bill stupp that is one hell of a fookin slide that your making in your back garden mate,hope you've got good life insurance.  :)

Welcome to the madhouse Phil  :idiot2: Hopefully that slide is going to make me a bit of a better rider than I am at the moment, your not wrong about how hard it is now though  :crazy2:

Holmetech:
Hey Bill you did some scary things on the kelloggs comp.I liked the bit were you jumped off midway through an arial at wigan and your bike landed against the railings stood up.Bet it shit the spectators a bit.
 When i was at school on my old GT bmx(which i've still got in my garage rusting away) my mate used to do my head in with a saying which you might remember?It was"wowee look at him go!!!" LOL. Its stuck with me all those years and i've started annoying my mate with it now,ha,ha!
Just watched a couple of bmx beats lately and was impressed with the stupple,gonna try it on my pegs this weekend as i've no coaster brake.

Lawmanmx do you go to the skatepark at Hindley? I drove past it the other week after i'd been on my minimoto at wigan indoor karting centre.
Is there any concrete bowls around this area mate?

tricknuts:
Phil Phil Phil. Enough of the small talk...
